Question 9

What are Wall Street analysts saying about Constellation Brands, Inc. Class A stock?

Answer

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Constellation Brands, Inc. Class A stock:

1. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We estimate interest expense will rise about $40 million per quarter and the company will not be buying back shares or doing other acquisitions until the debt returns to 3.5x EBITDA. We estimate pro forma Debt/ 2019 EBITDA to be 4.7x after this deal. Thus, in the short-term, this is quite a big negative. Our FY19 EPS estimate goes to $9.08, down from $9.60 (guidance $9.40 – $9.70). For FY20 our estimate goes to $9.65, down from $10.85. The estimate cut is driven by 1) higher interest expense; 2) higher share count since we had assumed share repurchase in the model; and 3) the lack of any meaningful benefit flowing through at the equity line as a current return on the investment." (8/15/2018)
2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Constellation Brands surpassed the industry in the past year driven by superb earnings surprise history. It has a record of 18 straight quarters of year-over-year earnings growth and 13 consecutive positive surprises. Also, the company has been gaining from constant brand-building efforts, acquisitions and strength in its beer business. These initiatives also led the company to raise earnings outlook for fiscal 2018. Further, management raised fiscal 2018 operating income target for the beer segment, while retained the sales forecast. However, softness in the wine and spirits business continued to impact top line. Going forward, the company expects results at this segment to be at the lower end of the sales and operating income guidance ranges for fiscal 2018 due to slowdown in the industry. Nonetheless, of late, estimates have witnessed an uptrend before fourth-quarter fiscal 2018 earnings release." (3/26/2018)
